It is now District policy that all visitors/volunteers/guests to our buildings must be signed in by an office person and must have either a visitor or volunteer badge displayed on their body in plain sight at all times.

As a reminder, visitors and guests must present photo ID.  Please be patient as there may be some delays in getting everyone checked in during peak times, especially first thing in the morning so you may want to consider arriving a few minutes early.

Thank you for your support as our school implements this new policy for the continued safety of our children, their teachers, the staff and volunteers at Blythe Academy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Health Room Policy Changes
Beginning in August 2010 - Due to changes in South Carolina policies governing the administration of prescription medication, we will no longer have a 10 day grace period before written physician authorization is required for all prescription medications.
 
  • Parents are required to bring prescription medication to school and provide Form MED-1 before any prescription medication may be left at the school.
     
  • If your child must self-administer medication at school Form MED-2 is required before medication is brought to school.
     
  • A  parent may provide written authorization for over-the-counter medication to be kept and administered in the health room using Form MED-3.

All Health Services procedures and guidelines and these forms are available at http://www.greenville.k12.sc.us/gcsd/depts/stuserv/health.asp

"Additional Immunization Requirement"
Beginning with the 2013 -14 school year, all children entering seventh grade must have received a dose of Tdap vaccine to protect them from pertussis (whooping cough). Parents do not have to wait until their child enters the seventh grade as children as young as seven years old can be vaccinated. Parents will need to provide their child’s school with a South Carolina Certificate of Immunization showing that their child received this newly required Tdap vaccine. Parents, please don’t wait – avoid the rush by making an appointment with your child’s healthcare provider to get the required Tdap vaccine and other vaccines recommended for your child’s protection.
